abstract = {A programming abstraction for pervasive computing is introduced. It is based on context models and a novel concept that is called Virtual Context. An extensive requirements analysis for a real-world deployment of pervasive computing is presented. It is the base for an assessment of relevant state of the art that reveals the missing of a suitable programming abstraction. The work introduces a collaborative ontology for smart spaces, the concepts Virtual Context and micro-middleware, and, based on the former, a self- managing service management framework for smart spaces. The implementation of the concepts is quantitatively and qualitatively evaluated.},

abstract = {With the Internet of Things, more and more devices become remotely manageable. The amount and heterogeneity of managed devices make the task of implementing management functionality challenging. Future Pervasive Computing scenarios require implementing a plethora of services to provide management functionality. With growing demand on services, reducing the emerging complexity becomes increasingly important. A simple-to-use programming model for implementing complex management scenarios is essential to enable developers to create the growing amount of required management software at high quality. The paper presents how data-centric mechanisms, as known from network management, can be utilized to create a service-oriented architecture (SOA) for management services. The resulting shift of complexity from access functionality towards data structures introduces new flexibility and facilitates the programming of management applications significantly. This is evaluated with a user study on the reference implementation.},

abstract = {Managing smart spaces with software requires the acquisition and processing of context information about a space. To be usable for exchanging information, a context representation has to be structured with a context model. Existing context-modeling techniques usually require experts and lack support for collaborative distributed creation, which prevents a crowdsourced development in a distributed collaborative way by non-experts. To facilitate context modeling, this paper presents a hybrid meta model that combines features from key-value, markup, object oriented, and ontology based context-modeling approaches. An architecture is introduced that allows the dynamic collaborative extension and crowdsourced convergence of context models.},

abstract = {Smart spaces need driver services to connect accessed hardware and orchestration services to realize scenarios. There is a problem of scale in software development for smart spaces because it is done by few. It is also problematic that those few decide about what is supported and developed. We propose to provide users with tools for community based development of driver and orchestration services. We analyze the requirements for a middleware framework to allow distributed development. We present necessary extensions that promote community based development: (1) a repository for interface definitions, (2) App Store and App Manager, and (3) multi-dimensional ratings. Finally we present how smart space software development can be facilitated using our Distributed Smart Space Orchestration System (DS2OS).},

abstract = {Humans are lazy. They want to get as much support and assistance in their daily life as possible. To provide sophisticated digital butler functionality a system has to monitor the humans and their environment to understand their desires. It has to control all devices to translate the deduced wills into actions. To provide an integrated intelligent environment to the residents it is necessary to overcome the borders of different manufacturers, devices and access technologies. A management and control middleware is needed that shields users as well as high level management services from the technical details of the network of devices by providing a standardized, resilient and secure communication channel. We present a knowledge-based middleware as base for that purpose in this paper. The novel approach is the transparent connection of highly heterogeneous home devices by requiring only very limited functionality per device. Our design allows the desired high autonomicity in a secure and efficient way},
